Amongst all the hubbub of the new iPhone 4 and the iOS operating system, the internet overlooked another essential software update--Safari 5. Apple had recently released a press release regarding the launch of Safari 5, with extensions, but a quick visit to Apple's site turns up negative.
The press releases says as follows:
Apple® today [June 7] released Safari® 5, the latest version of the world's fastest and most innovative web browser, featuring the new Safari Reader for reading articles on the web without distraction, a 30 percent performance increase over Safari 4,* and the ability to choose Google, Yahoo! or Bing as the search service powering Safari's search field. Available for both Mac® and Windows, Safari 5 includes improved developer tools and supports more than a dozen new HTML5 technologies that allow web developers to create rich, dynamic websites. With Safari 5, developers can now create secure Safari Extensions to customize and enhance the browsing experience.
Updated: Apple pulled the press release from PR Newswire, but we left you the link.
Though the press release alludes to a download link where you can get the browser, the link seems to still go back to Safari 4.
The new Safari will have HTML 5 features, its own built-in RSS Reader client, and a new Safari Developer Program that allows developers to create extensions using HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript.
